SRI HARIHARATHMAJASHTAKAM

Sri HariharathmajashtakamKambangudi Kulathu IyerTranslated byP.R.Ramachander“'Harivarasanam' was written by Kumbakudi Kulathur Iyer. In 1955, Swami Vimochananad recited this Ashtakam for the first time at Sabarimala.Harivarasanam is recited just prior to closing of the temple doors at night.As the final verses are being sung, all the assistant Santhis leave the Sanctum Sanctorum one by one. As the song ends, only the Mel Santhi is inside the Sreekoil. He extinguishes the lamps one by one and closes the doors for the night after the last lamp is extinguished.”( Above write up is quoted from http://www.saranamayyappa.org/Religious_Links.htm)Harivarasanam ViswamohanamHaridadhiswaram AaradhyapadhukamArivimardhanam NithyanarthanamHariharathmajam DevamashrayeSaranam Ayyappa Swamy Saranam AyyappaSaranam Ayyappa Swamy Saranam Ayyappa
